#I have a strong feeling I misunderstood the love triangle in book 4

I think my most disjointed media experience has to be Harry Potter.
I feel so all over the place thinking about it.
Like, I’ve had the books for a while. Got to the diagon alley bit in the first before giving up and getting bored. Also somehow ruined those pages with hot chocolate. I skipped the second one. Fully finished the third, got over halfway on the fourth. Skipped the fifth. And got a couple pages into the sixth one before calling it quits.
I did binge all the movies, could not tell you a thing about them other than particular scenes. I really didn’t like the lighting in most of them. Very dark. Browsed free to air tv last night saw order of the Phoenix and it proved my point.
I felt no attachment to most characters no matter how hard I tried. Except, like Minerva or the twins.
yet I owned a copy of the curse child and binge read it. (Really need to reread it just to pay closer attention to scorpius).
I own both a history of magic, and fantastic beasts (the encyclopaedia book)
played Hogwarts mystery, that little Mobile game, and liked it. (For like, characters and plot, game play itself is tedious)
then I got a copy of Hogwarts legacy and played the shit out of it.
What I’m getting at here is I did not care for most of the main story or the characters, but I liked literally everything else around it.
A case of world building better than actually story to me. Granted this was just my experience, I’m happy for those who can connect with the main canon, more fics to yee I say.
quite literally though, in HL there’s a small mini game where this raven claw girl quizzes you the lore and I got it all correct, despite not actually caring about those books, just the stuff in the world around them.
#When I tell you I had more sympathy for Sebastian Sallow than I ever did for Harry#JkR’s writing was also a little too…melodramatic for me#harry potter#hogwarts legacy#Spork has some certain late night takes#No this isn’t all coming out now because I’ve been dragged in screaming by a video game#(Help. I’m way too unhealthy about Seb and MC right now. They’re just cute little pyromaniacs)#(Who also explore the dark arts for the knowledge and curiosity)#(Those two in my play through are the definition of “we’ll learn it just in case…)#Their trio really goes Seb:ideas guy MC:enabler Ominus:the sensible one#Too also add I remember when people discuss Cedric’s death they talk about like a great loss and my brain always went#“What’s the hype he was introduced for one book. What do you mean we weren’t supposed#to root against him?”#I have a strong feeling I misunderstood the love triangle in book 4#And his entire character. Legit all I knew was that he was a popular pretty boy
